With my last table you were treated
to the gorgeous leaf chargers sent to me by Marigene Purcell of the In
the Middle of Nowhere blog.
I failed to
mention that, in addition to sending me these amazing chargers, she also sent
me some tablecloths.
Then, I thought it needed just a tiny bit more
red so, while Mr. O-P slept, I ran down to Walgreen's for a bag of Swedish
fish. Perfect!
As a side note, the cobalt blue
champagne flutes shown here had been one of our wedding gifts. Do you know that
in the 21 years we were married we never once used them?
We are not fans of champagne, but beautiful
glasses should be used no matter what, so I have remedied this situation and
now use them with my morning orange juice. Celebrate life, people! Use those
precious items.

Wow, this table is awesome, Pattie! This is probably my favorite of all the tablescapes you have done. The shorebirds are the perfect centerpiece.
The difference in the way the tablecloth has been used is amazing, isn't it?
I do use my "good" things all the time, otherwise I couldn't justify buying them!
Have a wonderful week...and try to stay cool.
Love this table! The glass fish plates are so pretty. How nice that people are sending you things for your tables!!!
Love your "fishy" tablescape. It surely doesn't smell fishy! I have fish plates but not the bluish colored ones. I love the small white ones as well. Very beachy....
Bonjour chère amie,
Une superbe table... J'aime beaucoup l'ambiance qu'émanent ces petits et grands poissons ! Une très jolie harmonie de couleurs...
Gros bisous
What a beautiful table. So elegant!
I always LOVE your tables Pattie and this one in no exception! Love the beautiful fish cloth and all the eclectic elements you have combined for this clever table! Don't you just love being able to use holiday things for everyday! The cobalt flutes are stunning, bravo for enjoying them now. I think tablescaping is therapy too, my favorite way to getaway for a while :)

OOO, this is an awesome table...so much personality in it. Anyone can set a beautiful table...but it takes talent to bring things in that set it apart from all the others...love those blue glasses..and so glad you kept them all these years....and I so agree to use those precious things as often as you can...I remember something Erma Brombeck said ...something about she wished she'd burned that beautiful rose candle instead of storing it away in the attic and it melted...a good lesson...xoxo
How pretty! :)

I love this table Pattie...what a wonderful tablecloth from Marigene! I love how the light is dancing across your fish plates like real fish and their scales. Your cobalt blue glasses would be perfect for sparkling water too. Playing with dishes at the table is great therapy and I love the addition of the Swedish fish:)
Clever table setting with a matching title to-boot! Thank you for sharing with us on the Art of Home-Making Mondays at Strangers & Pilgrims on Earth! :)
i am enjoying catching up here - love love your blog. Beautiful post.
Love your fishy table-scape. Perfect for summer. I just knew (!!!) the pelicans were Fitz and Floyd. I'm a big Fitz and Floyd lover. Have a lovely week.
